One year with Infragistics Components, and now whilst I know how to take advantage of the functional features of infragistics components, I always end up with an extremely plain interface in my applications. Are there any tutorials, ideally video ones, that cover styling?
Applications like the samples you supply, I've had a try with styles on my own, and All I manage to do is make the app look strange, a little childlike, and certainly unprofessional :(
I'm particularly interested in styling WinForms Apps.
Even a walkthrough on how to make the themes that are used in the samples would be a great help.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony
Hi Anthony,
Have you had a look at our online documentation for Styling your application? There are many ways you can style your application. You can use our Appstylist or you can use themes as well as presets.
Here are some helpfull links that I have found for you:
